Dragoncrest Cliffs The Sea Spared Me

Njord crossed back into Sapphique territory as a long sigh rattled his tired body. What had become a brief trip to visit family on Meares island had changed into a nightmareish voyage. Regardless, he returned – ever faithful to the sea wives and their children.

Large patches of fur had been rubbed off the sides of body where shallow abrasions were now healing. He moved with a stiffened gait, muscles sore from the ocean swim and long journey down the coast. Despite this, he returned with souvenirs. Between his teeth he held a tightly wrapped parcel of seaweed filled with gifts and treasures.

He slipped between the trees as the familiar smells of his family eased the seafarer. He wished for nothing more than to feel the touch of his loved ones. With a howl, he called to them.
